.Is there a way to include not fitted components of a variant design in a part list. Setting the design to the <master design> is not the solution as I want to include the parts of my current variant (My design has different part values for each variant).

Can you help me what switch I need to enable reporting of not placed components in my current variant. If I make a “ list of components” the not placed components are ignored by default. I must miss something obvious here.

The contents of the 'Variants Report' report should provide detail of a way to test for fitted and so not fitted for an output. It is not 'a switch' it is 'conditions' and this will depend on the form/structure of your report. The example mentioned reports for all variants within a design, but you could set your report to the current one using Set Variant.

What I want to do is create a simple part list listing all the parts in the design @ the current variant ignoring the "Is Fitted" status of the component. It seems this is not possible without jumping through hoops. So I give up its not that important.

It's typical. There is an option to sort parts by there "is Fited" status But this sorting has no effect as all the not fitted parts are not reported anyhow.

The design I’m working at is an analogue circuit with a couple of variants mostly in resistor values. Example:Variant1: R1=10K, R2=100K, R3=1M, R4=NPVariant2: R1=5K, R2=10K, R3=10M, R4=0Variant3: R1=NP, R2=1K, R3=1M, R4=NPThese values are provided by my customer and he likes to receive a checklist for the different variants with all the parts included to be able to check all the values. And to check if parts are set to NP. I Know that “no fitted” components are not in the list but my customer would like to be able to check all the variants side by side. So the most ideal output for me would be like this: Variant1 Variant2 Variant3R1 10K 5K NPR2 100K 10K 1KR3 1M 10M 1MR4 NP 0 NP

I think there are two options to make this possible:Creating a switch to include not fitted parts in a report output. Or even better make it possible to report not only if a part is fitted in a variant but also what part is fitted in that variant (I included a script to show what I try to achieve).

The examples Variants Report provides the level of detail as shown in your last image, although in a slightly different layout. It could become a CSV output. It probably could be re-organised to change its layout. Attributes used in your design may be different to those used in the report. If you require assistance on altering the report, you may send it to me at support@pulsonix.com with the design.

After some trying I was able to create the output I would like to have. So in order to help out other people who might have the same issue. I included two .rff files:Download Attachment: Checklist current variant.rff2.9 KBThis report will output all parts (fitted and not fitted) of the current variant design. Not fitter parts are reported as "not fitted". This rrf can be used as a checklist. If the design is in <Master Design> the there is a user choice to select one of the variants.
